That is freaky. Given the fact that I merely reverse-engineered published stories I saw posted on the Internet, it can be said that my humble list is an exact negative of what the media is doing.
That's how I came up with my list, by the way. At first I thought I'd look for WWII books about propaganda, as those would probably be the most intense. But that was an awkward effort, so instead I just started picking out patterns and assigning them names (my background is in systems design, so recurring patterns come naturally to me). The result was this list.
